History
This locomotive entered service as LB&SCR No. 78 ‘Knowle’ in 1880. It was rebuilt as an ‘A1X’ in 1911, before later being renumbered 678 under Southern Railway ownership. In May 1929 it moved to the Isle of Wight where it was first numbered W4, then W14 and given the local name ‘Bembridge’, the condition in which the Hornby model is presented.
It returned to the mainland in 1936, renumbered 2678 by the Southern and put to work on the Hayling Island branch until 1940, after which it went on loan to the Kent & East Sussex Railway and later became BR 32678, before a return to Hayling Island from 1958 to 1961. It then went to Newhaven Harbour from where it was retired in 1963.
After going on display at Butlins holiday camp in Minehead, it was eventually acquired by the Terrier Trust and was returned to steam in 2000 at the now-preserved Kent & East Sussex Railway.
